Supporting military members and their families.It's in our DNA.

Enterprise Holdings is proud to support our nation's service members and their families, whether it's by providing superior service to military agencies, volunteering our time or enlisting military veterans and reservists to join our ranks. And it's been that way from the beginning.

World War II Navy veteran Jack Taylor started our company in 1957. Lessons he learned in the Navy – including the values of integrity, hard work, team spirit and simply doing the right thing – helped shape his personality and made their mark on the company he founded. Today, the Taylor family still owns Enterprise, and is committed to maintaining these values and reflecting this deep military heritage.

Our Military Heritage

Enterprise Holdings has a rich and distinctive history. It's a remarkable story of how entrepreneurship, hard work and a big idea can turn a tiny start-up into a world-class company. In fact, Enterprise founder Jack Taylor was a decorated fighter pilot while serving in World War II aboard the storied aircraft carrier that gave us our name – the USS Enterprise.

Jack returned from his service in WWII with a big dream and the values that would became the foundation of his company. His simple philosophy still guides the way we do business today: "Take care of your customers and your employees first, and the profits will follow." Enterprise Holdings has grown from Jack's initial fleet of seven cars, into the largest rental car operation in the world. And, at Enterprise Holdings, the Taylor family continues to honor the leadership and vision that Jack instilled in our business.

Enterprise's support of the military focuses on three key areas – recruitment and hiring, local operations and community relations.

Military veterans or reservists comprise nearly 10 percent of our total workforce. And, Enterprise pays the salary differential for employees on active duty, so they continue to receive full pay throughout the duration of their service.

We operate Enterprise rental facilities on more than 50 U.S. military bases. We also support local, state and national government agencies with disaster relief and recovery efforts. Our network of 8,100 car rental locations in communities around the world gives us a unique ability – and responsibility – to support the local transportation infrastructure of the communities we serve.

Our Support & Recognition

Our dedication to the military comes to life in our support of and affiliations with organizations making a positive impact on the lives of veterans, as well as our recognition as a top military employer.

Corporate Financial Manager
My Enterprise Holdings career began in 1996

I was in active duty for seven years prior to taking my first post-military job at Enterprise Holdings. I’d come from a finance/accounting field in the military, so it made my transition into finance/accounting here much easier. The culture has also helped. Enterprise is a team just like the military, where promotions are based on performance … not seniority. And a little friendly competition among team members drives us all to be better.

If I could offer advice to fellow transitioning military, I’d say to look for a field within Enterprise that closely matches what you were doing in the military. The discipline and work ethic that you learned in the military will help you succeed in any position within Enterprise.

I was first drawn to Enterprise by the chance to be in control of my own career. I began as a Management Trainee and worked my way up to a Branch Manager. In all of my rental operations roles, including my current position, I’ve been able to utilize the leadership and team-building skills I learned during my eight years of service in the Marine Corps. The team-oriented structure and performance-based promotion criteria really helped me in my transition to a civilian career. I initially had a hard time with the autonomy to make my own decisions, so it was an adjustment when I was given the opportunity to be more self-reliant with my career path choices.

Enterprise Holdings also appealed to me on a more personal level. When I was first looking into the company, I discovered that the founder, Jack Taylor, was a WWII veteran, and that was important to me. Most veterans really understand the sacrifice that each member of our Armed Forces makes to join the military. I knew when I joined Enterprise that my service would be understood and respected.

Enterprise Commercial Truck Area Manager
My Enterprise Holdings career began in 2005

During my eight years in the Air Force, I’d grown to enjoy the family feel and team environment I experienced while stationed in Germany. So, when I discovered that Enterprise Holdings was a family-owned company that was founded by a WWII veteran, I was sold. It was the first time I thought I could recreate that same cultural feel I had in Germany all those years ago.

My time in the military has been invaluable to my career at Enterprise. The discipline, attention to detail and ability to adapt quickly – all learned during my military experience – have helped me get past many obstacles in my path. I think Enterprise is a great place for transitioning military and veterans dedicated to building a career and growing with a company that wants its employees to succeed.

Call Center Remote Team Manager
My Enterprise Holdings career began in 2007

I joined the National Guard in October 2012, and I’m currently stationed at the 1375th Chemical Company in St. Louis. Enterprise has been very understanding and supportive of my decision to join the military. They’re flexible with my work arrangements, and I appreciate knowing I have job security.

Being a member of the National Guard has greatly enhanced my leadership skills. I’ve become a better coach by listening to and developing my employees as individuals. My military training has taught me discipline, self-motivation and resilience. It’s had an immediate impact on how I do my job and overcome everyday challenges. If I could offer advice to other military members, I’d say that at Enterprise Holdings, you’ll be able to utilize the skills you gained in the military and be challenged to develop them even further.
